How our funny bunny is gnawing at our nerves

"Get her away from that!" is a phrase often heard in our home these days.

The "her" refers to a rabbit we accidentally adopted, while "that" includes anything even slightly chewable, such as newspapers, electrical wires, table legs, walls and my biscuits.

When she entered our lives after being released into the wilds of Beijing by someone who had received her as a unwelcome gift, Tuzi - it means "rabbit" in Chinese, chosen because it was only meant to be a temporary thing, and I didn't want my girlfriend to become too attached - has changed our lives.
